In the game, Jared Triolo scored two hits, two RBIs and one run in five at-bats, Jack Swinski scored two hits and one RBI in four at-bats, and Joshua Palacios also led the attack with two hits in four at-bats.

On the other hand, Philadelphia's Trey Turner scored three hits and one run in four at-bats, and Kyle Schwarber scored one hit, one homer, one walk, and one RBI in three at-bats, but failed to prevent the team's defeat. The seven-game winning streak was halted, and Philadelphia's season record was 89-70.

Pittsburgh formed the lineup in the order of Bae Ji-hwan second baseman, Brian Reynold designated hitter, Jared Triolo third baseman, Jack Swinsky center fielder, Miguel Anduha right fielder, Joshua Palacios left fielder, Alfonso Rivas first baseman, Nick Gonzalez shortstop, and Janson DeLay catcher. Louis Ortiz was the starting pitcher.

Jack Wheeler was the starting pitcher.

Bae Ji-hwan unfortunately stepped down with a fly ball to center field in his first at-bat in the first inning. With three balls and two strikes, he swung the bat confidently as the 96.1-mile fastball in the sixth pitch flocked to the center of the strike zone. It was a well-hit ball, but it was caught with a fly ball towards the front of center fielder Pasche.

Pittsburgh gave up the first run. In the first inning, Ortiz hit a solo home run over the right fence by leadoff hitter Schwarber. Since then, he has been on the verge of first and third bases with no outs, giving up a double to Turner and a walk to Harper, but finished the inning without additional runs.

In his second at-bat in the third inning, Bae produced a hit. The leadoff hitter Gonzalez struck out and DeLay walked to base, making it one out and one base situation. With two balls and two strikes, Bae Ji-hwan hit Wheeler's fifth pitch, an 82.6-mile sweeper. Bae Ji-hwan's light push led to a left-handed hit.

Pittsburgh took a chance with one out and runners on first and second base with a hit by Bae Ji-hwan. Reynold struck out, but Triolo hit an RBI double to bring the game to square one.

In his third at-bat in the fifth inning, Bae Ji-hwan was caught with an infield grounder. Bae Ji-hwan hit a 95-mile sinker ball on the fourth pitch of the changed pitcher Matt Strahm. Shortstop Turner handled the ball and sprayed it to first base to raise the out count.

He was in a two-out situation, but Pittsburgh's lineup showed concentration. Following Reynold's left-handed hit, Triolo hit an RBI double to take the lead. And Swinsky's heavy hit widened the gap by adding one more point.

In the sixth inning, he was also out with a bad hit in his fourth at-bat. Bae Ji-hwan hit opposing pitcher Michael Lorenzen's 86.6 mile changeup when the bases loaded with one out, which was made by Palacios' hit, Gonzalez's walk and DeLay's infield hit. But the ball was caught by the first baseman.

Philadelphia wasn't easy either. Pittsburgh allowed the chase. In the eighth inning, the changed pitcher Carmen Mozinski was in danger after a double to the left-hander Turner. He allowed Turner to steal third base, and even made a fielder's error and gave one point.

He failed to get on base even in his fifth at-bat in the ninth inning. Bae Ji-hwan hit a 96.9-mile fastball on Craig Kimbral's fourth pitch. But he had to strike out foul tip.

Pittsburgh finished without additional runs. In the ninth inning, David Bedna gave up a walk to leadoff hitter Casteyanos, but he later caught all three batters and kept the victory. 스포츠토토
